Despite being aware of Karan's integrity, Arvind sends him to a village under duress where he encounters Jai Singh at the new station. Jai's father was murdered by the dacoit Bhairav, who is actually Bhujang.
Bhujang invites Ravi to join his gang and he sends Ravi and goons to kill Arvind as he makes arrangements to bring Karan back.
